In the spirit of controversy, I’ve taken my previous chart with Cliques-into-Cliques, but now it’s broken down by age group. Data has been weighted by group and normalized to prevent data skewing by over-represented groups. (I’m looking at you, Bears). The number shown is the percent difference from average. (Eg, 17-and-younger is 17% more likely to be into Chubs than the average survey taker).

But why is this chart controversal?

Younger people (under 35) are more equal-opportunity than older people who took my survey.

Between 18-34 participants interest across cliques’ peaks.

Another way to look at this is that after 35, guys start to hone-in on what they want and become more exclusive to that type.

This downward trend starts to level off at 55+ (which is the upper limit of my data)

Guys 17-and-under REALLY like chubs.

Interest for Daddies drops steadily as we go up in age groups, but there’s this weird spike in Daddy lust around 45-54…before dropping again.

Please keep in mind that this is not progressive data; you aren’t necessarily going to stop liking something as you age. What we’re seeing here is how different generations of gays like different cliques.
